Water-insoluble reaction product of a polyamine and an oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer

ABSTRACT

The invention relates to a water-insoluble reaction product of an oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer and a polyamine.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a water-insoluble reaction product of at least one polyamine compound having at least two amine groups and at least one oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer. The water-insoluble reaction product can act as a carrier or matrix for desired agents. Such reaction products have industrial, pharmacological and/or cosmetic applicability.

DISCUSSION OF THE BACKGROUND

U.S. Pat. No. 6,492,455 discloses water-soluble reaction products of polyamines and C6 olefin/maleic anhydride copolymers. Because these compositions are water-soluble, addition of water to such reaction products renders the products unsuitable for applications requiring water-insolubility. For example, such reaction products are unsuitable for use as a solid carrier containing colorant (for example, industrial pigments) or active agents (for example, pharmaceuticals) because the reaction product breaks down upon exposure to water.

Thus, there remains a need for improved water-insoluble products which can function as a carrier and/or matrix for desired agents.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to water-insoluble reaction products of at least one polyamine compound having at least two amine groups and at least one oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer.

The present invention also relates to compositions comprising (1) a water-insoluble reaction product of at least one polyamine compound having at least two amine groups and at least one oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer; and (2) a desired agent such as a colorant or pharmacologically active agent.

The present invention also relates to solid compositions comprising (1) a water-insoluble reaction product of at least one polyamine compound having at least two amine groups and at least one oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer; and (2) water. Preferably, such compositions further comprise a desired agent.

The present invention further relates to cosmetic compositions comprising a water-insoluble reaction product of at least one polyamine compound having at least two amine groups and at least one oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer.

The present invention also relates to methods of improving the feel or texture properties of a cosmetic composition upon application to a keratin material, and/or the adhesion, long-wear and/or transfer-resistance properties of a cosmetic composition, comprising adding to a composition a water-insoluble reaction product of at least one polyamine compound having at least two amine groups and at least one oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer.

The present invention also relates to methods of making a water-insoluble reaction product by reacting a polyamine compound having at least two amine groups and an oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer to form the water-insoluble reaction product.

It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not restrictive of the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

As used herein, the expression “at least one” means one or more and thus includes individual components as well as mixtures/combinations.

Other than in the operating examples, or where otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients and/or reaction conditions are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term “about,” meaning within 10% to 15% of the indicated number.

“Film former” or “film forming agent” as used herein means a polymer or resin that leaves a film on the substrate to which it is applied, for example, after a solvent accompanying the film former has evaporated, absorbed into and/or dissipated on the substrate.

“Transfer resistance” as used herein refers to the quality exhibited by compositions that are not readily removed by contact with another material, such as, for example, a glass, an item of clothing or the skin, for example, when eating or drinking. Transfer resistance may be evaluated by any method known in the art for evaluating such. For example, transfer resistance of a composition may be evaluated by a “kiss” test. The “kiss” test may involve application of the composition to human keratin material such as hair, skin or lips followed by rubbing a material, for example, a sheet of paper, against the hair, skin or lips after expiration of a certain amount of time following application, such as 2 minutes after application. Similarly, transfer resistance of a composition may be evaluated by the amount of product transferred from a wearer to any other substrate, such as transfer from the hair, skin or lips of an individual to a collar when putting on clothing after the expiration of a certain amount of time following application of the composition to the hair, skin or lips. The amount of composition transferred to the substrate (e.g., collar, or paper) may then be evaluated and compared. For example, a composition may be transfer resistant if a majority of the product is left on the wearer's hair, skin or lips. Further, the amount transferred may be compared with that transferred by other compositions, such as commercially available compositions. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, little or no composition is transferred to the substrate from the hair, skin or lips.

“Long wear” compositions as used herein, refers to compositions where color remains the same or substantially the same as at the time of application, as viewed by the naked eye, after an extended period of time. Long wear properties may be evaluated by any method known in the art for evaluating such properties. For example, long wear may be evaluated by a test involving the application of a composition to human hair, skin or lips and evaluating the color of the composition after an extended period of time. For example, the color of a composition may be evaluated immediately following application to hair, skin or lips and these characteristics may then be re-evaluated and compared after a certain amount of time. Further, these characteristics may be evaluated with respect to other compositions, such as commercially available compositions.

“Tackiness” as used herein refers to the adhesion between two substances. For example, the more tackiness there is between two substances, the more adhesion there is between the substances. To quantify “tackiness,” it is useful to determine the “work of adhesion” as defined by IUPAC associated with the two substances. Generally speaking, the work of adhesion measures the amount of work necessary to separate two substances. Thus, the greater the work of adhesion associated with two substances, the greater the adhesion there is between the substances, meaning the greater the tackiness is between the two substances.

Work of adhesion and, thus, tackiness, can be quantified using acceptable techniques and methods generally used to measure adhesion, and is typically reported in units of force time (for example, gram seconds (“g s”)). For example, the TA-XT2 from Stable Micro Systems, Ltd. can be used to determine adhesion following the procedures set forth in the TA-XT2 Application Study (ref: MATI/PO.25), revised January 2000, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. According to this method, desirable values for work of adhesion for substantially non-tacky substances include less than about 0.5 g s, less than about 0.4 g s, less than about 0.3 g s and less than about 0.2 g s. As known in the art, other similar methods can be used on other similar analytical devices to determine adhesion.

“Waterproof” as used herein refers to the ability to repel water and permanence with respect to water. Waterproof properties may be evaluated by any method known in the art for evaluating such properties. For example, a mascara composition may be applied to false eyelashes, which may then be placed in water for a certain amount of time, such as, for example, 20 minutes. Upon expiration of the pre-ascertained amount of time, the false eyelashes may be removed from the water and passed over a material, such as, for example, a sheet of paper. The extent of residue left on the material may then be evaluated and compared with other compositions, such as, for example, commercially available compositions. Similarly, for example, a composition may be applied to skin, and the skin may be submerged in water for a certain amount of time. The amount of composition remaining on the skin after the pre-ascertained amount of time may then be evaluated and compared. For example, a composition may be waterproof if a majority of the product is left on the wearer, e.g., eyelashes, skin, etc. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, little or no composition is transferred from the wearer.

“Substituted” as used herein, means comprising at least one substituent. Non-limiting examples of substituents include atoms, such as oxygen atoms and nitrogen atoms, as well as functional groups, such as hydroxyl groups, ether groups, alkoxy groups, acyloxyalky groups, oxyalkylene groups, polyoxyalkylene groups, carboxylic acid groups, amine groups, acylamino groups, amide groups, halogen containing groups, ester groups, thiol groups, sulphonate groups, thiosulphate groups, siloxane groups, and polysiloxane groups. The substituent(s) may be further substituted.

“Volatile”, as used herein, means having a flash point of less than about 100° C.

“Non-volatile”, as used herein, means having a flash point of greater than about 100° C.

“Water-insoluble,” as used herein, means that the reaction product retains its structure and does not solubilize upon exposure to water.

The compositions and methods of the present invention can comprise, consist of, or consist essentially of the essential elements and limitations of the invention described herein, as well as any additional or optional ingredients, components, or limitations described herein or otherwise useful.

In accordance with the present invention, the “hardness” of the composition may also be considered. The hardness of a composition may, for example, be expressed in gramforce (gf). The composition of the present invention may, for example, have a hardness ranging from 20 gf to 2000 gf, such as from 20 gf to 900 gf, and further such as from 20 gf to 600 gf, including all ranges and subranges therebetween.

This hardness is measured in one of two ways. A first test for hardness is according to a method of penetrating a probe into the composition and in particular using a texture analyzer (for example TA-XT2i from Rheo) equipped with an ebonite cylinder of height 25 mm and diameter 8 mm. The hardness measurement is carried out at 20° C. at the center of 5 samples of the composition. The cylinder is introduced into each sample of composition at a pre-speed of 2 mm/s and then at a speed of 0.5 mm/s and finally at a post-speed of 2 mm/s, the total displacement being 1 mm. The recorded hardness value is that of the maximum peak observed. The measurement error is ±50 gf.

The second test for hardness is the “cheese wire” method, which involves cutting an 8.1 mm or preferably 12.7 mm in diameter stick composition and measuring its hardness at 20° C. using a DFGHS 2 tensile testing machine from Indelco-Chatillon Co. at a speed of 100 mm/minute. The hardness value from this method is expressed in grams as the shear force required to cut a stick under the above conditions. According to this method, the hardness of compositions according to the present invention which may be in stick form may, for example, range from 30 gf to 300 gf, such as from 30 gf to 250 gf, for a sample of 8.1 mm in diameter stick, and further such as from 30 gf to 200 gf, and also further such as from 30 gf to 120 gf for a sample of 12.7 mm in diameter stick.

The skilled artisan may choose to evaluate a composition using at least one of the tests for hardness outlined above based on the application envisaged and the hardness desired. If one obtains an acceptable hardness value, in view of the intended application, from at least one of these hardness tests, the composition falls within preferred embodiments of the invention.

According to the present invention, compositions comprising at least one oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer are provided. “Polar modified polymer” as used herein refers to a hydrophobic homopolymer or copolymer which has been modified with hydrophilic unit(s). “Oil-soluble” as used herein means that the polar modified polymer is soluble in oil. “High carbon” means more than 20 carbon atoms.

Suitable monomers for the hydrophobic homopolymers and/or copolymers include, but are not limited to, cyclic, linear or branched, substituted or unsubstituted, C22-C40 compounds such as, C22-C28 compounds, C24-C26 compounds, C26-C28 compounds, and C30-C38 compounds, including all ranges and subranges therebetween. Preferably, the monomers are C24-26 compounds, C26-C28 compounds or C30-C38 compounds.

According to preferred embodiments relating to a copolymer wax, it is preferable to have, based on the total weight of the copolymer backbone, 0.1 to 30% by weight of structural units originating from the one monomer and 70.0 to 99.9% by weight of structural units originating from the other monomer.

Waxes of the present invention can be based upon homopolymers or copolymers made, for example, by the process described in EP 571 882, the entire contents of which is hereby incorporated by reference. Suitable preparation processes include, for example, suspension polymerization, solution polymerization and gas-phase polymerization of olefins in the presence of catalysts, with polymerization in the monomers also being possible.

Oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer wax can be produced in a known manner from the homopolymers and copolymers described above by oxidation with oxygen-containing gases, for example air, or by graft reaction with polar monomers, for example maleic acid or acrylic acid or derivatives of these acids. The polar modification of polyolefin waxes by oxidation with air is described, for example, in EP 0 890 583 A1, and the modification by grafting is described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,998,547, the entire contents of both of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.

Acceptable oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer waxes include, but are not limited to, homopolymers and/or copolymers of C24, C25 and/or C26 groups, copolymers C26, C27 and/or C28 groups, or copolymers of C30-C38 groups, which have been modified with hydrophilic units such as, for example, maleic anhydride, acrylate, methacrylate, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), etc. Preferably, the oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer wax has from about 5% to about 30% hydrophilic units, more preferably from about 10% to about 25% hydrophilic units by weight with respect to the weight of the wax, including all ranges and subranges therebetween. Particularly preferred hydrophilically modified waxes are C26, C27 and/or C28 homopolymers and copolymers which have been modified with maleic anhydride units.

Particularly preferred oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer waxes for use in the present invention are C26-C28 alpha olefin maleic acid anhydride copolymer waxes commercially available from Clariant under the trade name LICOCARE or LICOCENE. Specific examples of such waxes include products marketed by Clariant under the LicoCare name having designations such as CM 401, which is a maleic anhydride modified wax having a Mw of 2025 and a crystallinity of 11%, C30-C38 olefin/isopropylmaleate/maleic anhydride copolymer sold by Baker Hughes under the name Performa® V 1608, and C24-C26 alpha olefin acrylate copolymer wax commercially available from Clariant under the trade name LICOCARE CA301 LP3346 based on a polar backbone with C24-26 side chains with alternating ester and carboxylic acid groups.

According to other embodiments of the present invention, the polar modified polymer is not a wax. In accordance with these embodiments of the present invention, the polar modified polymer is based upon a homopolymer and/or copolymer of hydrophobic monomer(s) and has a weight-average molecular weight Mw of less than or equal to 1,000,000 g/mol, preferably of 1000 to 250,000 g/mol and particularly preferably of 5,000 to 50,000 g/mol, including all ranges and subranges therebetween.

In accordance with these embodiments, the polar modified polymer can be of any form typically associated with polymers such as, for example, block copolymer, a grafted copolymer or an alternating copolymer. For example, the polar modified polymer can contain a hydrophobic backbone (such as polypropylene and/or polyethylene) onto which hydrophilic groups (such as maleic anhydride) have been attached by any means including, for example, grafting. The attached groups can have any orientation (for example, atactic, isotactic or syndiotactic along the backbone).

Preferably, the oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer(s) represent from about 1% to about 20% of the total weight of the composition, more preferably from about 3% to about 17% of the total weight of the composition, and most preferably from about 5% to about 15%, including all ranges and subranges therebetween.

Polyamine Compound

According to the present invention, compositions comprising at least one polyamine compound are provided. In accordance with the present invention, the polyamine compound has at least two primary amine groups available to react with hydrophilic groups of the oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer.

According to particularly preferred embodiments, the polyamine compound is a polyalkyleneimine, preferably a C2-C5 polyalkyleneamine compound, more preferably a polyethyleneimine or polypropyleneimine. Most preferably, the polyalkylenamine is polyethyleneimine (“PEI”). The polyalkyleneamine compound preferably has an average molecular weight range of from 500-200,000, including all ranges and subranges therebetween.

Commercially available examples of such polymers are available from BASF under the tradename LUPASOL or POLYIMIN. Non-limiting examples of such polyethyleneimines include Lupasol® PS, Lupasol® PL, Lupasol® PR8515, Lupasol® G20, Lupasol® G35.

According to other embodiments of the present invention, polyamines such as polyethyleneimines and polypropyleneimines can be in the form of dendrimers. Non-limiting examples of such dendrimers are manufactured by the company DSM, and/or are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,530,092 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,610,268, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Commercially available examples of such polymers include polyamidoamine or polypropyleneimine polymers from DENDRITECH sold under the STARBURST® name.

According to other embodiments of the present invention, derivatives of polyalkyleneamines are suitable polyamines. Such derivatives include, but are not limited to, alkylated derivatives, the addition products of alkylcarboxylic acids to polyalkyleneamines, the addition products of ketones and of aldehydes to polyalkyleneamines, the addition products of isocyanates and of isothiocyanates to polyalkyleneamines, the addition products of alkylene oxide or of polyalkylene oxide block polymers to polyalkyleneamines, quaternized derivatives of polyalkyleneamines, the addition products of a silicone to polyalkyleneamines, and copolymers of dicarboxylic acid and polyalkyleneamines. Even further suitable polymamines include, but are not limited to, polyvinylimidazoles (homopolymers or copolymers), polyvinylpyridines (homopolymers or copolymers), compounds comprising vinylimidazole monomers (see, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,677,384, hereby incorporated by reference), and polymers based on amino acids containing a basic side chain (preferably selected from proteins and peptides comprising at least 5%, preferably at least 10% of amino acids selected from histidine, lysine and arginine). Such suitable polyamines as described above include those disclosed and described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,162,448, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Commercially available examples of such polymers include polyvinylamine/formamide such as those sold under the Lupamine® name by BASF, chitosan from vegetable origin such as those sold under the Kiosmetine® or Kitozyme® names, or copolymer 845 sold by ISP.

According to preferred embodiments, the at least one polyamine compound is present in the composition of the present invention in an amount ranging from about 0.1 to about 10% by weight, more preferably from about 0.2 to about 5% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition, including all ranges and subranges within these ranges.

Preferably, the amount of polyamine compound reacted with the oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer is such that at least two amine groups on the polyamine compound react with the oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer to form links or bonds between the amine groups and the hydrophilic groups of the oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer. The appropriate amount of polyamine compound to react with the oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer to obtain a reaction product can be easily determined, taking into account the number/amount of reactive amine groups on the polyamine compound and the number/amount of corresponding reactive groups on the oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer (for example, maleic anhydride groups). According to preferred embodiments, excess oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer (as determined by the relative number/amount of corresponding reactive groups on the polymer as compared to the reactive amine groups on the polyamine) is reacted with polyamine. Preferably, the polyamine to oil-soluble polar modified ratio is between 0.005 and 1, preferably between 0.006 and 0.5, and preferably between 0.007 and 0.1, including all ranges and subranges therebetween.

Reaction Product

According to the present invention, the oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer is reacted with the polyamine compound to form a reaction product of an oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer and a polyamine. In accordance with the present invention, the reaction product is water-insoluble.

Preferably, when the reaction product is exposed to water, water can be incorporated within the reaction product. Thus, rather than forming an aqueous solution when exposed to water, the reaction product preferably maintains its structure. Preferably, the reaction product forms a matrix or carrier containing water. According to preferred embodiments of the present invention, water comprising a desired agent can be incorporated into the reaction product such that the reaction product is a matrix or carrier for the water and/or desired agent.

According to the present invention, any suitable amine chemistry can be used to form the reaction product of the present invention. The exact chemistry will depend upon the nature of the corresponding reactive group of the oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer hydrophilic group with which the at least two amine groups of the polyamine will react. However, once the nature of the corresponding reactive groups is known, their reaction with the at least two amine groups of the polyamine will proceed according to known amine chemistry principles.

According to preferred embodiments, the oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer is in an oil carrier, and the polyamine compound is in an aqueous carrier, and the reaction occurs by combining the oil carrier and the aqueous carrier. Because the oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer is typically solid at room temperature, the oil carrier is preferably heated to liquefy the polymer prior to combination with the aqueous carrier. Preferably, the oil carrier is heated beyond the melting point of the oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer, typically up to about 80° C., 90° C. or 100° C. Although not wanting to be bound by any particular theory, it is believed that at a temperature below 100° C., the reaction of oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer with the primary amine group of the polyamine opens the anhydride ring to form a half acid and half amide crosslinked product. However, at a temperature above 100° C., the reaction of oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer with the primary amine group of the polyamine opens the anhydride ring to form an imide crosslinked product. The former product is preferred over the latter product. It is not necessary for all amine groups and all hydrophilic groups to react with each other to form the reaction product. Rather, it is possible that the composition may contain free polyamine and/or free oil-soluble high carbon polar modified polymer in addition to the reaction product.

Although not wanting to be bound by any particular theory, it is also believed that the polyamine(s) can be non-covalently assembled with the high carbon polar modified polymer(s) by electrostatic interaction between an amine group of the polyamine and a hydrophilic group (for example, carboxylic acid group associated with maleic anhydride groups) of the polar modified polymer to form a supramolecule. For example, with specific reference to maleic anhydride groups, in the presence of water these groups can open to form dicarboxylic acid groups which can interact with protonated primary amines of the polyamine through ionic interaction to form a polymer-polymer complex with hydrophilic core crosslinkers and a hydrophobic network that act as supramolecular capsule. If a large amount of maleic anhydride groups are present, the secondary amine groups of polyamine are also protonated and interact with alkyl carboxylates.

According to preferred embodiments, the oil carrier comprises volatile and/or non-volatile oils. Such oils can be any acceptable oil including but not limited to silicone oils and/or hydrocarbon oils.

According to preferred embodiments, the oil carrier comprises one or more volatile silicone oils. Examples of such volatile silicone oils include linear or cyclic silicone oils having a viscosity at room temperature less than or equal to 6 cSt and having from 2 to 7 silicon atoms, these silicones being optionally substituted with alkyl or alkoxy groups of 1 to 10 carbon atoms. Specific oils that may be used in the invention include octamethyltetrasiloxane, decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane, heptamethyloctyltrisiloxane, hexamethyldisiloxane, decamethyltetrasiloxane, dodecamethylpentasiloxane and their mixtures. Other volatile oils which may be used include KF 96A of 6 cSt viscosity, a commercial product from Shin Etsu having a flash point of 94° C. Preferably, the volatile silicone oils have a flash point of at least 40° C.

No. 6,338,839 and WO03/042221, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. In one embodiment the volatile linear silicone oil is decamethyltetrasiloxane. In another embodiment, the decamethyltetrasiloxane is further combined with another solvent that is more volatile than decamethyltetrasiloxane.

According to other preferred embodiments, the oil carrier comprises one or more non-silicone volatile oils and may be selected from volatile hydrocarbon oils, volatile esters and volatile ethers.

One type of block copolymer which may be employed in the compositions of the present invention is a thermoplastic elastomer. The hard segments of the thermoplastic elastomer typically comprise vinyl monomers in varying amounts. Examples of suitable vinyl monomers include, but are not limited to, styrene, methacrylate, acrylate, vinyl ester, vinyl ether, vinyl acetate, and the like.

The soft segments of the thermoplastic elastomer typically comprise olefin polymers and/or copolymers which may be saturated, unsaturated, or combinations thereof. Suitable olefin copolymers may include, but are not limited to, ethylene/propylene copolymers, ethylene/butylene copolymers, propylene/butylene copolymers, polybutylene, polyisoprene, polymers of hydrogenated butanes and isoprenes, and mixtures thereof.

Thermoplastic elastomers useful in the present invention include block copolymers e.g., di-block, tri-block, multi-block, radial and star block copolymers, and mixtures and blends thereof. A di-block thermoplastic elastomer is usually defined as an A-B type or a hard segment (A) followed by a soft segment (B) in sequence. A tri-block is usually defined as an A-B-A type copolymer or a ratio of one hard, one soft, and one hard segment. Multi-block or radial block or star block thermoplastic elastomers usually contain any combination of hard and soft segments, provided that the elastomers possess both hard and soft characteristics.

In preferred embodiments, the thermoplastic elastomer of the present invention may be chosen from the class of Kraton™ rubbers (Shell Chemical Company) or from similar thermoplastic elastomers. Kraton™ rubbers are thermoplastic elastomers in which the polymer chains comprise a di-block, tri-block, multi-block or radial or star block configuration or numerous mixtures thereof. The Kraton™ tri-block rubbers have polystyrene (hard) segments on each end of a rubber (soft) segment, while the Kraton™ di-block rubbers have a polystyrene (hard) segment attached to a rubber (soft) segment. The Kraton™ radial or star configuration may be a four-point or other multipoint star made of rubber with a polystyrene segment attached to each end of a rubber segment. The configuration of each of the Kraton™ rubbers forms separate polystyrene and rubber domains.

Each molecule of Kraton™ rubber is said to comprise block segments of styrene monomer units and rubber monomer and/or co-monomer units. The most common structure for the Kraton™ triblock copolymer is the linear A-B-A block type styrene-butadiene-styrene, styrene-isoprene-styrene, styrene-ethylenepropylene-styrene, or styrene-ethylenebutylene-styrene. The Kraton™ di-block is preferably the AB block type such as styrene-ethylenepropylene, styrene-ethylenebutylene, styrene-butadiene, or styrene-isoprene. The Kraton™ rubber configuration is well known in the art and any block copolymer elastomer with a similar configuration is within the practice of the invention. Other block copolymers are sold under the tradename Septon (which represent elastomers known as SEEPS, sold by Kurary, Co., Ltd) and those sold by Exxon Dow under the tradename Vector™.

Other thermoplastic elastomers useful in the present invention include those block copolymer elastomers comprising a styrene-butylene/ethylene-styrene copolymer (tri-block), an ethylene/propylene-styrene copolymer (radial or star block) or a mixture or blend of the two. (Some manufacturers refer to block copolymers as hydrogenated block copolymers, e.g. hydrogenated styrene-butylene/ethylene-styrene copolymer (tri-block)).
